Nepal made its Paralympic Games début at the 2004 Summer Paralympics in Athens, sending just one athlete to compete in women's shot put. The country has taken part in every Summer Paralympics since, but has never participated in the Winter Paralympics.

Nepal won its first ever Paralympic medal at the 2024 Summer Paralympics. Nepalese athletes made their Paralympic Games debut at the 2004 Summer Paralympics. However, Nepal had not secured an official medal in either event—until taekwondo athlete Palesha Goverdhan made history by winning a bronze medal at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. This marked Nepal’s first-ever official medal in the Paralympic or Olympic Games, placing the country on the Paralympic medal tally for the very first time.[1][2] For this historic and remarkable achievement, Palesha Goverdhan was awarded रू65 lakh (US$48,000) by the Nepalese prime minister KP Oli on behalf of the Government of Nepal on 13 September 2024.[3]
